Last year, Heart Attack Grill fan and unofficial spokesperson
John Alleman
died of a heart attack after claiming to eat at the
restaurant nearly every day. The Las Vegas restaurant's signature
dish is its 9,982-calorie Quadruple Bypass
Burger.

But Basso told Liu that he feels morally superior to fast
food chains like McDonald's or Burger King, because he is honest
about how unhealthy his food is.

"We all know that burgers and fries and chicken McNuggets
or anything else that the corporate fast food chains can throw
out at you are absolutely horrible for your heath, as is the food
I serve," Basso said. "But I am probably the only restaurateur in
the world unapologetically telling you my food is bad for you and
will kill you and stay away from it.”
